Chapter 59: The Battle

"No, the base on the asteroid is only one of the civilizations, maybe another civilization has the same base. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Spred suddenly remembered.

"And where will this base be?" Zhou Xin asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's so easy to find?" This time it's because we're lucky, and that civilization is a little bit unlucky. If the asteroid hadn't exploded, do you think we would have been able to detect the asteroid's anomaly? And even if we find a similar base, can you be sure that there will be neutron matter inside? It is still unknown whether the asteroid explosion was caused by neutron matter. ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's series of questions, Spred's face once again showed a look of disappointment. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin also felt a little helpless in his heart, and after thinking about it, he finally commanded Atlas with some hope: "No matter what, you should pay a little attention to the report of the external detector, maybe you will be able to find this abnormal situation again." ”

"Brother Captain, don't worry." Atlas replied, "Ever since the discovery of antineutrino rays, people have already entered the relevant information into the detector's database, and the detector itself will be able to alert the next time such a ray burst is found." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "Now that the cause of the asteroid's explosion has been found, then the investigation of that asteroid can also be temporarily over, if there is no problem, then transfer the probe back." What about the rest? Atlas, have you made any new discoveries? ”

"Not yet." The little girl shook her head, "The information storage device obtained from the wreckage of the spaceship has been investigated quite a bit, but most of them are some daily maintenance reports and the like, and people haven't found the video like the last time." ”

At the same time as Atlas reported, Zhou Xin noticed that on the screen, there was a new movement of the fleet on the surface of the planet, so he directly turned his gaze to the fleet.

Zhou Xin saw that the fleets that were originally just staying in place had huge flames coming out of the engines at the tail of all the spaceships, and then, the fleets of both sides began to move in unison.

To Zhou Xin's surprise, the fleets of both sides actually began to turn around collectively after advancing a short distance in the direction of the equator, and after a while, the warships of the two fleets turned one hundred and eighty degrees and flew away from the direction of the equator.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xin's tone was very surprised, "Could it be that the two sides just met like this and it was over?" So what did they spend so much effort on assembling such a huge fleet? ”

Looking at the strange movements of the two fleets on the screen, this time even Dart couldn't analyze the reason, and his eyes became a little dazed when he looked at the screen, let alone the others in the command cabin. Their faces all showed the same incomprehensible looks on their faces as Zhou Xin.

The surprised crowd focused all their attention on the movements of the two fleets on the screen, but the next movement of the fleet once again surprised Zhou Xin's expectations. They didn't go back like Zhou Xin just said, after retreating in the direction of the equator for about three minutes, the Southern Fleet first stopped their retreat, and then, the whole fleet began to turn again, and just ten seconds after the Southern Fleet began to turn, the Northern Fleet began to make the same move. In less than a minute, the two fleets were back to face-to-face and confronted each other at a greater distance.

"This-" Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin's tone was a little helpless, "What are the two of them doing, what is the point of this." ”

"Not necessarily." At this time, Dart seemed to have seen some clues, "Look, are there a lot more aircraft around the rear mothership?" Moreover, isn't it strange that the engines of the warships of both sides were not turned off? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Dart's tone was a little hesitant, "But I always feel that the battle between the two sides may be about to begin." ”

As if to verify Dart's words, not long after Dart's words were finished, the warships of both sides suddenly began to move. In less than a minute, countless flying machines were released from the battleship, and after these flying machines were released, they did not hesitate at all, and directly rushed towards the other party. Like a flock of migrating birds, these aircraft obscured the sky and the sun, even obscuring the vast white clouds below.

"Finally--it's begun-" Looking at the battle that broke out in an instant, Zhou Xin's mood relaxed in an instant, and then he stopped talking and concentrated on observing the battle on the surface of the planet.

In a short period of time, the flying groups of the two sides "collided" with each other at an extremely high speed. After colliding together, Zhou Xin seemed to see that the aircraft groups of the two sides paused slightly, and at this moment, a steady stream of flashes began to burst out from the impact positions of the two aircraft groups. Over time, the range of the burst flash grew. Eventually, every part of the entire group of flying machines that had crashed together began to flash.

At the same time as the battle between the flying machines began, the warships of both sides also began the battle between them. At that moment, the main guns of the two battleships opened fire at the same time, faster than the aircraft, and the beams or shells fired by the main guns rushed towards the opposing warships after passing through the combat area of the two aircraft. Just a few seconds after the main gun was fired, the warships of both sides made evasive maneuvers almost simultaneously, and then the warships of both sides encountered an attack from each other.

After a slight glance, Zhou Xin found that the first wave of attacks did not cause much damage to the warships of both sides, and Zhou Xin's field of vision did not even see the damage to the hull.

Beside him, Dart's brow began to furrow after seeing the effects of this round of attacks, but he didn't say anything, but continued to wait for the next action of the two fleets.

Seeing that their attack had no effect, the two fleets launched a second attack, and while the main guns were fired again, the Southern Fleet resumed its movement and began to move in the direction of the equator.

To this action of the Southern Fleet, the Northern Fleet did not follow them in the direction of the equator, and they responded by launching two successive waves of attacks. At the same time, Zhou Xin saw that more than a dozen ships in the rear of the Northern Fleet began to break away from the position where the large forces were. They start from the rear and look in the direction as if they want to go around from the side.

At this time, the Southern Fleet was only less than two hundred kilometers away from the group of aircraft in the front melee, and in addition to continuing to fire their main guns at the opponent, they also began to make further moves. When Zhou Xin swept his gaze to this side, he saw the bird's nest-shaped battleship at a glance. Now, the battleship was no longer in the rear of the fleet, but had advanced parallel to the other ships, its huge size standing out from the other warships around it. Seeing the current situation of the Bird's Nest battleship, Dart suddenly felt a little strange.

"Why are the surrounding warships so far away from it?" He muttered to himself in a low voice.

It didn't take long for the next action of the Bird's Nest battleship to solve Dart's doubts, and let everyone in the command cabin finally understand what the battleship was for.

"Look, that Bird's Nest is disintegrating!" Atlas's voice of surprise rang out in the command module. Needless to say, everyone present also saw the change in the battleship, and their faces suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Zhou Xin saw that the triangular prism short sticks that were originally randomly put together and formed the main body of the bird's nest were now breaking away from the main body of the battleship in a certain order. At the same time, the first few short sticks to break away from the Bird's Nest had moved into the space left on either side of the Bird's Nest battleship. Zhou Xin asked the probe to focus the camera on one of the short sticks, and after careful observation, Zhou Xin found that one of the short sticks was actually a small warship. In the shot, one end of the short stick is spraying a faint tail flame outward, silently staying in place, and next to it, there are several warships similar to it. At the same time, a steady stream of warships from the Bird's Nest is joining the ranks. It didn't take long for the entire screen to fill up with a line of baton battleships.

After a slight glance at the entire team, Zhou Xin found that it was similar to the situation he had seen before when they were set up on the bird's nest. The length of these battleships varied, the length was more than 100 meters, and Zhou Xin even saw that the length of one battleship was close to 200 meters, which was a bit outstanding compared to the small warships around that were only a few tens of meters. And some short warships are only a dozen meters long, and they are not even comparable to the length of the aircraft fighting in front, so it is really far-fetched to say that they are warships. Of course, apart from the obvious difference in length, the difference between each battleship was relatively small. But if you look closely, you will notice that the shape of the head of each ship is slightly different, presumably to better fit on the original bird's nest.

"It's strange, since it's a battleship, why are they lined up on the mothership like that?" Looking at the queue still lined up in front of him, Zhou Xin asked strangely.

"Maybe there's some special role we don't know about yet." Dart replied casually.

"That's right." Zhou Xin replied thoughtfully, and then he turned the camera back to the location of the Bird's Nest battleship.

At this time, on the original Bird's Nest mothership, the "sticks" that constituted the entire Bird's Nest had been obviously thinned, and the remaining small warships that were still on the mothership were barely maintaining the basic shape of the Bird's Nest, but as time went on, the number of small warships became smaller and smaller, and Zhou Xin and they could already see the mothership platform carrying these small warships.

Similar to what Zhou Xin had vaguely seen before, the shape of this mothership platform resembled a triangle from above, but its three sides were not straight, but arcs protruding outward. Above the entire mothership is a platform with slight protrusions on all sides. In the very center of the mothership platform, a tetrahedron about fifty meters long is standing quietly. This tetrahedron is red all over, I don't know what material it is made of, and it looks a little translucent. Through the translucent shell, Zhou Xin vaguely saw that there seemed to be a strange device hidden inside.

"What's the use of that tetrahedron in the middle?" After looking at the tetrahedron and two eyes, Zhou Xin subconsciously asked.

"Who knows." Dart also saw the tetrahedron, and he replied casually, "I think it might be some kind of special weapon." ”

"Weaponsβ€”?" Originally, Zhou Xin didn't expect to be able to come up with any definite answer, he looked at the tetrahedron and said thoughtfully.

At this time, all the small ships on the Mothership of the Bird's Nest had already broken away from the Mothership, and only a few small ships were still on their way to the queue of ships next to them. It took less than five minutes from the beginning of the disintegration of the nest to now, and all this was done under the nose of the Northern Fleet. Just as the Bird's Nest began to disintegrate, the Northern Fleet discovered the mothership's anomaly, and all the battleships concentrated their firepower in this direction, but most of the firepower was resisted by the battleships around the mothership, and the only fish that slipped through the net did not cause particularly much damage to the mothership after hitting it. However, a few small warships were hit by stray bullets due to bad luck, and they exploded on the spot and broke in two, but this did not affect the assembly of other small warships. When the last of these small warships was separated from the mothership and assembled, Zhou Xin saw that the Southern Fleet had more than 100 small warships on the battlefield out of thin air, and in this way, they almost doubled the number of warships of the other side, and Zhou Xin couldn't help but worry about the fate of the Northern Fleet in his heart.

However, what made Zhou Xin feel strange was that the battleships that broke away from the mothership did not start attacking immediately after completing the assembly, but stayed where they were and watched the show. And the ordinary warships next to them are still constantly pouring their firepower on each other, which gives people a very strange feeling in comparison.

Seeing that the new battleships did not attack, the Northern Fleet immediately hit all its firepower on the southern warships that were firing, obviously trying to concentrate their firepower to destroy some enemies first. However, their firepower could not form an overwhelming advantage, and the battle between the two sides reached a stalemate at this time.

For the rest of the day, the entanglement lasted for nearly an hour, and neither side of the battle could help the other. However, although on the surface the two sides are now evenly matched, as the battle grows, the pressure on the Northern Fleet will increase, as they will need to be on guard against the strange fleet that has not yet joined. However, within an hour, the fleet that had broken away from the Bird's Nest mothership was still neatly lined up on the left and right sides of the mothership, showing no signs of movement.

Another hour passed, the battle went now, both sides had considerable losses, and just a few minutes ago, one of the battleships of the Northern Fleet finally crashed due to being overwounded, the first loss of a battleship in this battle. It was at this time that the Bird's Nest fleet, which had been silent, finally began to move......
